Does the black hole start sucking everyone in now, too?

Dilanski told me that it was an auxiliary reactor, but I think that's bs. I think of it more like the ship served upwards and thrusted its engines "down" one last time before ejecting the reactor and then the angular momentum carried it (not enough to escape the black hole, though).

The black hole will drag everything in an 8" radius 2" into it per turn. If it noms nothing for a turn then it will disappear the following turn.

The original idea was to have the ship rotate so its underside faced the reactor and kind of ride the shock wave, kind of like in treasure planet, only more awesome. Also why wouldn't you have two power sources on a ship? Makes sense to have a back up to provide at least some power.
